Searching for Sakura in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai Sakura (Wild Himalayan Cherry)

Main Viewing Spots:
- Khun Chang Khian: A small village-like atmosphere on the mountain, surrounded by blooming sakura during January.

- Khun Wang: Located near Doi Inthanon National Park, featuring a large and spectacular area with pink blossoms covering the entire valley.

- Doi Ang Khang: A light Japanese vibe with alternating sakura gardens and tea plantations, especially beautiful in the early morning with mist.

- Doi Pha Klong Agricultural Station: Less crowded than other spots, offering a peaceful and romantic atmosphere.

Best Time to Visit:

The flowers typically bloom from January to February each year.

The highlight is mid-January when the blossoms are at their peak.

Walkways lined with Wild Himalayan Cherry trees on both sides, with morning light and a gentle mist contrasting against the pink flowers, create a scene reminiscent of Japan.
